Discovering the joy of playdates!

Suddenly I feel as though I am getting my first glimpse into the world of "play dates." What was once a situation that left me sweaty and exhausted is now a chance to relax and have some adult conversation. For the longest time getting together with kids and friends was more work than being alone with my guys and did not provide me with a chance to visit and enjoy myself. I honestly didn't understand what all of the hype was about. Something has changed in the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong, I don't get to catch any zzzz's or let my guard down completely but Jake and Miles are now playing WITH other kids. It is awesome. It burns up a bunch of their extra energy and I really value the opportunity to have some adult conversation. Here are some pictures of the boys playing with their friend, Beckett.
